KRRC glengarry question
Did the King's Royal Rifle Corps have a glengarry badge made for the post 1881 period? K&K illustrate two pre-1881 types, and then seem to jump to the 1898 field service cap version. But what was worn in between? I'm aware that up to about 1895 line regiments usually wore the helmet plate centre with a separate or attached crown, but I don't think the KRRC had a detachable HPC. So what did they wear in the glengarry? As ever, any information gratefully received.

Pretty certain it’s this one.

OK, but isn't this the same as K&K 673, or is it a larger badge? The battle honour for Egypt 1884 also makes the earliest this badge could have been produced as 1885, which would suggest that for a while at least the KRRC may have worn the old 60th version.

It’s much larger, about the same as the WW1 badge.

I read somewhere that they continued wearing the pre-territorial badge with the number removed and I have seen these badges in the past.
The KRRC is complicated because there were three different badges sealed with pattern dates of 1882, 1886 & 1895. The badge Keith shows will be 1886 I would think. I haven't yet discovered what the 1882 badge is. Hope this helps. Neil

There is also the very rare crown-less glengarry. One was sold on a dealers site recently, it sold immediately. Pictures have already been removed I’m afraid.
If anyone on here has an example or reference picture I’d bet Keith does.
